{"product_id":"9781804295946","title":"Analogue Africa","description":"Too many of our convictions about the fifty-four nations of Africa come from non-African sources. Western media often treat the continent as a simulacrum of Western anxieties. In contrast, Jeremy Harding focuses on specific historical episodes and cultural practices - cinema, art, ethnography and journalism - to steer us away from treacherous generalisations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnalogue Africa \u003c\/i\u003ecelebrates the ingenuity with which African artists - and a handful of Europeans - have reimagined the colonial encounter and voiced their impatience with white minority rule. Among his illustrious cast of filmmakers, photographers, writers and painters are Seydou Keï¿½ta, Sanlï¿½ Sory, Ernest Cole, Sarah Maldoror, John Akomfrah, William Kentridge and Binyavanga Wainaina. Harding argues that Western museums with priceless African holdings - the British Museum, the Musï¿½e du Quai Branly, the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Belgium - are now the sites of a struggle over the colonial past, adding the latest chapter to an unfinished history.","brand":"Harding, Jeremy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53486734115153,"sku":"9781804295946","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/6478\/4209\/files\/9781804295946.jpg?v=1775822311","url":"https:\/\/thecommonpress.shop\/products\/9781804295946","provider":"The Common Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
